Harlyn especially enjoys expressing herself through creative activities like making crafts and writing stories. Those who know Harlyn describe her as thoughtful, loving, and full of potential. With encouragement and opportunities to explore her interests, she continues to grow into a confident and inspiring young girl.

Harlyn has experienced several changes in her short life. Recently, she became a big sister, which means she now has three boys in her home. Her grandmother is currently helping with the other children, but on Monday, she will return to Tennessee. Harlyn has trouble adjusting when she leaves and suffers from separation anxiety. She has always wanted to build her own bear to use as a comfort toy. This will allow Harlan to build her own comfort bear.
